The TEIMO project aims to develop an inclusive, state-of-the-art Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) to enhance teacher education across Europe.
Recognizing the limited mobility opportunities in this field due to national regulations, the project seeks to empower teachers with the competencies necessary for culturally diverse environments.
It focuses on integrating virtual and on-site components to foster collaboration during blended mobility experiences.
Specific objectives include:
- designing digital resources
- establishing logistic guidelines for implementing BIPs
- validating these through comprehensive testing
The project envisions significant outcomes:
- Enabling students to participate in inclusive BIPs.
- Enhancing staff expertise in these programs.
- Encouraging higher education institutions to embed BIPs in their curricula and policies.
- Guide national agencies in setting quality standards for inclusive virtual and blended mobility.
TEIMO’s outputs, including user-friendly blueprints, will facilitate sustainable, scalable improvements in teacher education, supporting Europe’s broader goals of inclusion and digital transformation.
